I'm not bashing science. I'm bashing people who regard "SCIUNCE!" the way Christians regard religion.

 

[HeadOn!]

People who treat it with dogmatic reverence, as if it's static and infallible.

 

[HeadOn!]

The whole *point* of science is that it *is* fallible. Knowledge is constantly being expanded and refined, with hypotheses undergoing constant critical scrutiny, becoming theories when validated by evidence and analysis, being discarded when they fail those tests.

The "scientific method" is more important that "science"

 

[HeadOn!]

Keep what proves out, discard what doesn't.

 

[HeadOn!]

Scientists aren't 'anointed by science-as-god'. They're not infallible, nor are they incorruptible.

 

[Seamajor]

Either are fools who post here

 

[HeadOn!]

'Scientist' isn't a title deserving of (nor, when it's authentic, receptive to) the kind of sainthood ascribed to it by charlatans who want to use it to promote easily and repeatedly disproved bullshit.

 

[jack]

There are many fools who post here. We're all boxos on this bas afa that goes.

Which grade did you finish C6

 

[HeadOn!]

From 2020 to 2023, hucksters were treating Anthony Fauci like a fucking Pope. Sickening.

Jack I need a key to your slang

 

[jack]

what you mean jelly bean?

 

[HeadOn!]

Why are you asking that, Seamajor? If you can't address what I'm saying, just admit it. Don't go digging for ad hominem fuel.

 

[jack]

"we're all bozos on this bus" is a quote from firesign theater. It means we're all alike in that regard.

 

[jack]

wanna "squeeze the wheeze"?

 

[The Prowler]

Some scientists can be bought. The methodology of every study needs to be scrutinized.

 

[jack]

that means, If I were dressed like boxo would you like to squeeze my big red nose, a euphemism for "don't you think"??

As Jack can attest, I'm the absolute *worst* kind of "right-winger" -- the non-religious kind. lol

 

[Seamajor]

For example, I got all the COVID vaccines and boosters and never got COVID. Thanks Dr.

 

[jack]

same here

 

[HeadOn!]

I got none of those, got COVID, and whooped its ass.

 

[jack]

not so much as a sniffle. My sentient talking third nipple says "thanks"

 

[Seamajor]

Many died from COVID. Non believers I’d assume

 

[HeadOn!]

What an interesting turn of phrase. "Non-believers." Did you perhaps mean 'infidels'?

 

[jack]

No, if you recall in the beginning it spread like wildfire and no one haqd any immunity

 

[jack]

so the chaff got culled from the herd in the beginning

 

[Seamajor]

He doesn’t get it
